Day 1346 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Dwight McCall can sing, as can Del. We'll be with the Master for a few days. Moneyland is such an interesting concept, while The Mountain and Del and the Boys are canon.

Day 1345 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Missed Edmonton band Maple Creek's second album a few ago, and this Steve Martin/Steep Canyon Rangers album is enjoyable but damn, perhaps has the best album packaging in bluegrass history: dollars were spent.

Day 1344 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge Mac Martin may not be the most well-known of the #bluegrass Martins, but he knew bluegrass. More music that needs to get played on the radio show, and I am making that note. Great stuff.

Day 1343 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass A few from Jimmy Martin, the self-appointed King of Bluegrass. A bit of a jerk on-stage, when at the meet-and-greet table, he was very nice if somewhat 'nervous,' maybe. Uncomfortable? Not sure how to describe him. Good songs.

Day 1342 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Influential BC bluegrasser Sue Malcolm kicks off shelf 64 along with Benny Martin- these final albums from Martin (another one tomorrow) are absolutely wonderful.

Day 1341 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Finishing the L section of the bluegrass shelves. Jami Lynn's album is bluegrass adjacent and is impressive. Onto shelf 64.

Day 1340 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Take Five is an exceptional banjo album. Claire Lynch is always a welcome voice.

Day 1339 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Lost & Found and Lost Highway put many miles on their buses- I hear the Lost Highway bus sometimes hit things.

Day 1338 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Today, Lost & Found doesn't get nearly as much attention as they deserve.

Day 1337 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Of all the #bluegrass supergroups, Longview might have been the best- instrumentally and especially vocally taking the music to an impressive level. Their album covers? Not so much.

Day 1336 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Back to the #Bluegrass to finish up with the Lonesome River Band, a group I've never fully warmed to for whatever reason and The Lonesome Sisters. It's not always bluegrass here, but close sometimes.

Day 1335 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Recently acquired ketchup time: I believe all of these are from the radio station tickle trunk; listened to the Smith album (a bit strange) and looking forward to the others.

I picked up a Wynton Marsalis LP last weekend, so why not find two Wynton CDs today. A quarter each!

Day 1334 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Recently acquired ketchup time: Rounder compilations are often the best compilations; this Deep Blue one is inconsistent. The Laws were bluegrass adjacent for a few years, & I haven't yet dug into Red Dirt Skinners.

Day 1333 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Recently acquired ketchup time: Replaced a pair of 'burned' copies here, and found a Tim Isberg album I never knew existed. Looking forward to spending an evening with the Connie Kaldor set soon.

Day 1332 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge Recently acquired ketchup time: Paul Kaplan CD was recently reviewed, & the John Hewitt set was purchased at his concert a couple months back. The others are charity shop gems with Terra Lightfoot espec. impressive.

Day 1331 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge #bluegrass A selection of Lonesome River Band CDs from the more recent past.

Day 1330 Join me daily for #CDsOnTheShelf Share your CD collection. #MusicChallenge #bluegrass Corrina Rose Logston, who I featured on the radio show a couple Sundays ago & her spouse Jeremy are core members of High Fidelity. I've never warmed to Lonesome River Band & should try again.

Yesterday's flea and thrift pickups. I was a fool for not having American Fool already in my collection. And Glen Campbell's 61st & last album with contributions by Chris Isaak, Brian Setzer, & Paul Westerberg. Lance Henriksen is in the western.
